Description
AWS Lambda, at the heart of the Serverless movement, is a fast growing service that is becoming the default compute infrastructure for a wide range of applications (https://aws.amazon.com/lambda). Lambda functions offer customer a “serverless” way to create applications, an approach that lets customers turn business logic and application code into scalable, fault-tolerant production systems without requiring every developer to become an expert in distributed systems, deployment technologies, and infrastructure management.
Our team owns the software and services that enable Lambda to securely and efficiently execute customer provided code across tens of millions of containers using AWS Firecracker microVM architecture. These containers are densely packed on EC2 instances, and securely connected to other AWS services such as S3, DynamoDB, and Kinesis. Lightweight containers constantly shift resources between them and handle trillions of transactions every day.
We are seeking Senior Software Development Engineers who can help us build the next generation of AWS Lambda. You will be responsible for translating business and functional requirements into concrete deliverables with the architecture, design, and development of highly scalable distributed services. You will get the opportunity to use modern programming languages like Go and Python, and cutting edge virtualization like Firecracker to push the boundaries of serverless computing in the cloud.
You’ll thrive in this role if you are interested in low latency request processing, scalable and fault tolerant distributed systems, containers, and Linux OS. You are capable in one or more programming languages and open to learning new ones. You have a proven record of delivering highly operable and maintainable software on time. You have relentlessly high standards, and drive engineering best practices while constantly looking for ways to make the systems you own better. You will navigate the competing priorities of delivering extremely lightweight services, embracing modern languages and cloud technologies.
We would love to share more if you think we’d be a good fit for you. Let’s talk about:
Creating composable applications with minimal runtime overhead
Building secure and performant orchestration mechanisms
Handling billions of requests and guaranteeing each one is handled by the correct container
Sharing your perspective and bringing others along
Driving down request handling latency
Our company credo is “Work hard. Have fun. Make history”. The right candidate will love what they do and instinctively know how to make work fun.
If you’re excited about serverless cloud computing, then join us in making Lambda the most successful computing platform on the planet. Contact [email protected] to learn more.
Inclusive Team Culture
Here at AWS, we embrace our differences. We are committed to furthering our culture of inclusion. We have ten employee-led affinity groups, reaching 40,000 employees in over 190 chapters globally. We have innovative benefit offerings, and host annual and ongoing learning experiences, including our Conversations on Race and Ethnicity (CORE) and AmazeCon (gender diversity) conferences. Amazon’s culture of inclusion is reinforced within our 14 Leadership Principles, which remind team members to seek diverse perspectives, learn and be curious, and earn trust.
Work/Life Balance
Our team puts a high value on work-life balance. It isn’t about how many hours you spend at home or at work; it’s about the flow you establish that brings energy to both parts of your life. We believe striking the right balance between your personal and professional life is critical to life-long happiness and fulfillment. We offer flexibility in working hours and encourage you to find your own balance between your work and personal lives.
Mentorship & Career Growth
Our team is dedicated to supporting new members. We have a broad mix of experience levels and tenures, and we’re building an environment that celebrates knowledge sharing and mentorship. Our senior members enjoy one-on-one mentoring and thorough, but kind, code reviews. We care about your career growth and strive to assign projects based on what will help each team member develop into a better-rounded engineer and enable them to take on more complex tasks in the future
